Leopard Upgrade Can't Connect

I recently upgraded to Leopard and am having major issues connecting to my AExt now.
Whenever I attempt to connect and enter my password, I get Connection Failures.
When i reset the AExt, I can connect, but as soon as I enable WPA2 Personal, nothing connects and in fact the base station can no longer be found.

I can't see my Snow Leopard shared items from another Apple.
Even with the firewall disabled.
I can ping with the firewall on or off.
Can't connect using Finder or Go- Finder sees there is another networked computer but can't connect, and does not let me "connect as".
So much for the beefed up firewall, I didn't know there was a problem until I tried to access shared items from a macbook; my wife's Windows rubbish can see, access, and modify the shared items firewall or no firewall.

[Solved] Upgraded, can't connect to internet, nl80211 not found.

So after an upgraded I enthusiastically rebooted my computer to find that now I can't connect to the internet.
My technique was that I had manually set up a wpa_supplicant configuration with wlp4s0 as my interface, and had
dhcpcd wlp4s0
run on boot.
Now however, this won't connect automatically so I tried running that command and got
wlp4s0: interface not found or invalid
So I thought okay, maybe the interface changed I'll check, so I ran
iw dev
but that simply spits out
nl80211 not found.
iwconfig gives a similar response with
lo no wireless extensions
So I thought perhaps my wireless drivers are no longer working, but when I run lspci it still picks up my card as
Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR93xx Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
so I guess not.
Netctl and wifi-menu also don't work.
What should I do?

Ah, well thank you for helping me realize that there is something horribly wrong with how I've set up /boot. I have it on a separate partition that I've apparently not been booting from.
Edit to avoid double post: So I unmounted my /boot partition. And then ran pacman -S linux to reinstall it to the /boot directory I was actually starting from, and now everything works! Thanks!

After Leopard upgrade can't send mail in Apple Mail with dot mac account.

Just upgraded to Leopard and now I can't send mail through Apple Mail. Checked smtp and that's OK. How do I check what ports are open? That may be the problem. I looked at the Apple trouble shooting page and did everything there except the port check.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Lou

Fixed my own problem. I put in the SMTP address but didn't save. Once I saved it worked.

Recent software upgrade--can't connect to iTunes store.

I upgraded the AppleTV and now, it won't connect to the iTunes store. Ever.
There is no problem with the account--I've signed in properly, it works fine on my computer, phone, iPad, no issues with account itself.
There is no problem with the internet access--I can do everything else--Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, HomeSharing all working just fine.
But I cannot access my content in my account through the Apple TV--the reason I purchased this item--and I'm starting to get very, very angry.
Is there a way I can make it redownload the upgrade? Will that fix it?
Does anybody have a number to a Tony Stark hotline?

I have been having the same problems and I'm starting get very ****** off with Apple. Both my new 2012 apple tvs does this. I've even taken both back to new a down loaded the updates again. The problem is with iTunes connection.

Can't shut down / restart after Leopard upgrade - can't install updates

(While I found a topic with the same subject from last November, which is marked "answered", as far as my machine is concerned, nothing in that thread helps)
Having upgraded to Leopard, I have found that the regular shutdown process never works. I invariably get told that Firefox (or something else) is still running but not only is the "Force Quit" dialog empty, but a "ps aux" command does not list any process related to Firefox in it.
For the last few months, I've been doing shutdown -h now, the only mechanism that would work.
However, there's a new update which has a button to restart, but it WON"T restart. I just get the usual problems as above. If I do a shutdown -r now, I can reboot, but it looks like the software update did not actually happen, as I simply get prompted again to install/restart.
Anyone know how to really solve this problem?

Well, it turns out that I was wrong about the original thread not helping. As a last act of a desperate user, I went to the place in user accounts where the login items are specified and pulled out EVERYTHING except my microsoft keyboard/mouse drivers (don't laugh...the only thing I hate about Macs are their keyboards and mice) and my system is now working perfectly...shuts down properly every time, etc...the updater was able to do its job.
I have absolutely no idea which item caused the problem and I don't care.
It works!

Since upgrade, can't connect to internet on my p.c.

After recent upgrade of Firefox on my p.c., I cannot connect to the Internet although I can send and receive email in Outlook. The error message says: Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connection.
I'm sending this from my laptop after Firefox just upgraded again. Too many upgrades.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Firefox upgraded to 3.5.? I think.

The problem is that Windows Vista and Windows 7 treat all IP addresses as IPv6 so your PAC file will fail unless you make changes to it or Disable IPv6 completely or BOTH.
==============================================
WINDOWS 7 IPv6 disable (though I wouldn't, because it might screw up other M$ things)
==============================================
From this web site: http://windows7themes.net/disable-ipv6-windows-7.html
# Open up the registry.
# Uncollapse [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\]
# Next, we create a new 32-bit registry key: “DisabledComponents”: By the way, even if you are on 64-bit system you have to create a 32-bit registry key only, because it only reflects the size of the registry key. A 32-bit registry key can store a maximum value of 2,147,483,647.
# Enter: “DisabledComponents” when prompted for a name.
# Double-click the newly created registry key and copy and paste the value: ffffffff (8 F’s) [His documentation only has 6 f’s]
# Restart your PC and you are done: You just disabled IPv6 in Windows 7!

After Leopard upgrade can't burn backups to dvd, don't have "SuperDrive"???

I used the upgrade install option for Leopard and I know the are issues being reported with alot of applications but I haven't seen this one so here it goes..
Backup had an update to be Leopard compatible and so far it will backup just fine to my iDisk.
However if I try to backup to a dvd the driver that shows on the Backup program for burning says SuperDrive and I have a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06 drive soooo when I try to backup to dvd it fails. I'm guessing the failure is the Superdrive vs the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06 drive. System profiler states for burning I have the Pioneer drive.
The reason I would like to backup to dvd is simple, it's QUICK and since I upgraded to Leopard and did not do a "clean" install I want to be ready if that is what I will need to do to solve any issues that may arise from upgrade vs install method for Leopard. I want my info safe. I am not sure if I do a "clean" install that my info backed-up in Time Machine will be readily available or if I will have to erase my external hard drive that I use for TM to start with a "clean" Time Machine too.
Any suggestions? Enlightenment? Please be kind I am still so new at this and I have alot to learn.

Hi
There are two kinds of DVDs that You can burn/create with the same sort of DVD that You bought.
• Data-DVD - When DVD is seen on DeskTop and files added to this ===> Result is a Data-DVD and this can only be read by a computer - no DVD-Player can play it
• Video-DVD - Is the kind of DVDs that plays on DVD-players and to do this You must use a Video-encoding-burning program as iDVD or Roxio Toast™ or DVD-Studio Pro. It encodes the video in a proper way but also it structures the material in a way a DVD-Player can use. Can not be done (as far as I know of) via DeskTop/Finder.

After Mavericks upgrade, can't connect to internet

We upgraded our MacBook Pro to Mavericks, last night. Immediately afterwards, the wifi stopped connecting to the internet. It will allow us to join our WPA Personal network, but says it has a self-assigned IP address. I can't figure out why it would have connected just fine before the upgrade, but won't, now. I feel like it's probably just a setting we need to click, but have been at this for over 2 hours, now, and can't sem to find the right box to click.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

After doing the iOS 6 upgrade my iPhone has wifi connectivity problems, drops calls which it never did before doing the ios6 upgrade ,can't connect to safari most of the time, lost google maps, lost the YouTube app icon,

Can I reinstall the previous iOS , my iphone is now a POS because of the new IOS . My iPad no longer has the YouTube app?? And what happened to google maps? Galaxy 3 for me and a google tablet seems like a better option. Nice job apple!!!

Does Snow Leopard upgrade have the option to do a clean install?

If you buy the snow leopard upgrade, can you still erase and install over, say 10.4 or 10.5? If I have 10.5 can I wipe it out and just install 10.6 using the upgrade?

yes, you can. boot from the snow leopard dvd, use disk utility to erase the main hard drive and proceed with the install.

Can't connect to internet after upgrading to leopard

Can someone please HELP ME! I have a ibook g4 and I recently upgraded from tiger to Leopard. My wireless internet service worked fine until I upgraded. My computer still recognizes the network i’m trying to connect to but when I try to connect, it either says “connection time out” or “connection failed.” I know it’s not a problem with the network because my husband can connect to the same network on his macbook pro and on a psp. I know the problem has something to do with leopard. If anyone has experienced this or has any possible solutions on how to fix this please help.
Thanks in advance

Kim, I have the same problem since I upgraded to Leopard, on the wireless connection at my office. Everything still works fine at home and on campus, so it seems to have affected some wireless routers and not others.
I am still working to make the connection at work connect without the "connection failed" report, but one thing I've read is to go to your System Preferences, click on Network, select the Airport option, click on Advanced, click on the TCP/IP tab, then Configure IPv6: check to see that it's OFF. Some people have reported that this helps. Hope it does for you.

I upgraded my Iphone, but now I can't connect it to itunes because it is not upgraded. However, when I want to upgraded, it says that my computer (imac) needs to be upgraded to another version. I can't find anything to help me out.

I upgraded my Iphone to IOS6, but now I can't connect it to itunes (10.6.3) because it is not upgraded. However, when I want to upgraded, it says that my computer (imac Mac OS 10.5.8) needs to be upgraded to another version. I can't find anything to help me out.

You need iTunes 10.7 or later.
To get this, you need Mac OS 10.6.8 or later.
You can get 10.6 Snow Leopard here -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Can't Print After Snow Leopard Upgrade

I have a home network centered around an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. The base station is wired to a Linksys network switch which, in turn, is wired to two computers - an Apple Dual G5 running OS X 10.4.11 and a and Mac MIni which, until yesterday was running Leopard. I have an HP Laserjet P1006 connected to the USB port of the AEBS and, until yesterday, everything worked fine. Yesterday, I ran the Snow Leopard Upgrade on my Mini and now the Mini won't print to the HP over the network. If I connect the printer directly to the MIni, it works fine; as soon as I reconnect the printer to the AEBS, the Mini will no longer print. The lights on the printer will flash but nothing comes out. I have downloaded the HP Printer driver update from Apple but this didn't help. I have reset the AEBS, to no avail. The G5 running Tiger has no problems with printing. And, my daughter just got a brand-new MacBook Pro loaded with Snow Leopard from the factory and she can print to the HP over the network without any problems.
Any ideas?

When I upgraded iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard 10.6 it also stopped printing wirelessly to Brother MFC6490CW.
I thought I had this same issue with my Epson printer when wireless printing. Actually, in SL, wireless printing is very slow at least with an Epson. Takes about 5 minutes or so for wireless print to even start. When checking the printing status app, it will start out saying "printer ready." Then after a few minutes it will say "looking for printer." A few minutes later it will say "printing."
When I go into the next room where the printer is, the green light is "flashing" letting me know that "printing" has started.
So I guess what I am trying to say is to check the printing status app after you click "print." It's possible "Brother" is just as slow as "Epson."

Installed Leopard and can no longer connect to my shared hard drive

I had a sweet set up with a Drobo (fancy external hard drive) connected to my Airport Extreme base station. Before I upgraded to Leopard, my MacBook Pro would discover the Drobo disk and run scheduled backups without me having to do anything.
Since I installed Leopard, I can see the Drobo disk in the Finder under SHARED > Airport but I cannot access it. It won't accept my password to connect to it. What's really weird/dumb is that I can use Airport Utility to reset the password and change whatever settings I like... but when it comes to actually using the disk, I'm locked out.
Anyone know what's going on?

Podcast Update:
Jason O’Grady on today’s PowerPage podcast said that in the beta builds of leopard time machine supported airport extreme’s airport disk feature. They only dropped it in the release version of leopard. He’s confident this functionality will return.
But on today’s MacBreak Weekly podcast, Leo Laporte said as much as he loves his drobo it’s LOUD when it’s working. I wonder if one of his drives is failing. He also said he prefers a backup program called ChronoSync. I’ve never used it.

Preserving Comcast Connection with Leopard Upgrade

My computer is messed up somehow; I haven't been unable to upgrade to Leopard, and I can't even clone my hard drive. So I'm just copying one folder at a time to my external hard drive, after which I'm going to try Leopard's Erase and Install option.
One of the first things I'm going to want to set up if I get Leopard installed is my Internet connection. I have an account with Comcast. Does anyone here know what files or information I need to copy to make sure I can still connect via Comcast?
On another note, I've discovered that if I unplug my Comcast cord, I'm often still connected to the Internet. It appears that my computer has automatically logged into someone else's account...I guess. This stuff is still new for me.
It would be great if I could hitch a ride and not have to pay for service. But is it legal?
Thanks.

"...One of the first things I'm going to want to set up if I get Leopard installed is my Internet connection. I have an account with Comcast. Does anyone here know what files or information I need to copy to make sure I can still connect via Comcast?"
Nothing specific. Your Mac should detect the signal from your modem and you're there.
"On another note, I've discovered that if I unplug my Comcast cord, I'm often still connected to the Internet. It appears that my computer has automatically logged into someone else's account...I guess. This stuff is still new for me."
Your airport card is probably picking up someone's wireless router. If you are able to get on the internet via their wireless access then their router is open and not password protected. There are always discussions whether this is a legal or moral issue. I believe you should have your own service and not jump into someone else's just because they are stupid enough to leave the door open.
